This has been frustrating. Mostly happens when opening a new window especially when it's a pop-up notification. I can't change the font for my gnome-terminal without this happening.

That's not going to happen, jaunty shipped already. If it works for you in karmic, then this bug should be closed. Lockups are due to the driver, so my guess is that it doesn't work too well with the kernel in jaunty. Has been solid for me though (180.44, 8600GT/9600GT). -- Jaunty X highly unstab

Timo, What makes you think that it is an nvidia driver problem? Every version of the nvidia driver has failed under Jaunty, and every one of them works fine with Intrepid and Karmic. At present I view Jaunty as unstable and unreliable and to be skipped. I would like for that to change. -- Jaun

If it helps, a flashing keyboard possibly indicates a kernel panic; thus this might not be a problem with X but with the kernel itself. I'm having the same issues on Jaunty with 185.18.14.
